🌈LGBT+ Life in Africa: Nigeria

Ruti Frensdorff spoke to several experts in an attempt to better understand GLBTQ life in Nigeria.

The episode begins with a brief general overview of what makes Africa unique, by Dr. Irit Back, Head of African Studies at Tel Aviv University. We elaborate on the state of LGBTQ life in the continent with Dr. Moshe Morad from the African Centre in Beer Sheba and finally zoom in to the nuts and bolts of daily life for LGBTQ persons in Nigeria with Deyo Adebiyi, Nigerian educator and activist. Main arguments presented briefly in the beginning by one speaker are further developed by others later in the episode to enable our listeners a better understanding of the subject from a variety of perspectives.
